Privacy Issue (ANI in SF Bay Area)
by Ryan Russell/SYBASE 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Here's something cute: Yesterday PacBell turned on ANI on our trunk groups, for local area calls. On their own, mind you, without request from us. If you call anyone here with a display phone, it displays your number, even if you have caller-id blocking on or you do a *70 (for those who don't know, ANI is not caller-id, you can't block your number from being displayed with ANI.) It also grabs your phone number if you leave a voice mail, so even folks without display phones can benefit. I post this thinking it may be of interest. I actually disagree that people ought to be able to block their number. My feeling is that if someone is calling me, they have no right be anonymous. Of course, I realize that this is easy to defeat with call forwarding and such.. In fact, if I call you from my work phone..you won't see my direct dial number...you'll see a number for PacBell's trunk group. Now...I just have to figure out how PacBell is charging us.. if it's .01$ per call like regular ANI...at 100,000 calls per day.. Hmm...first fix is free? A new PacBell marketing program? Our CIO loves the new "feature." Ryan

Well, I can't speak for R.H., but in my own case, my KILLfile entries typically look like /toto/f:=:j which displays the subject lines as it junks the articles. Sometimes I'll see one go by which interests me, so I'll go back and read it anyway. Similarly, people who've been plonked are often quoted in somebody else's message, so I see it anyway.

Alex Kelly Strikes Again
by Duncan Frissell 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Alex Kelly, our favorite Greenwich Connecticut high school jock, accused rapist, ex-fugitive who returned to the US to face trial after 8 years on the run in Europe has done it again. He filed the paperwork to gain recognition of Irish citizenship from the Irish Consulate and his claim has been recognized. He is now free to apply for an Irish Passport. The DA is trying to yank his $1,000,000 bail. The wire services incorrectly report that he has been "granted" Irish citizenship. Actually, like anyone who has at least one grandparent born in Ireland, he *is* an Irish citizen under that nation's permissive nationality law and merely had to register his (overseas) birth with the Consulate.

(Fwd) Black Liberation Radio

------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 12:36:31 -0700 From: "Clover Hale" <clover(a)iaj.xo.com> Subject: Black Liberation Radio To: iaj-futuremedia(a)igc.org BLACK LIBERATION RADIO BUSTED! This morning, the FCC raided Black Liberation Radio in Decatur, Illinois and seized all the equipment. BLR, an unlicensed radio station operated by Napolean and Mildred Williams, has been a growing thorn in the side of the local power structure. BLR has brought together the predominantly white workers who have undergone bitter strikes in the 90s (Caterpillar, etc.) with unemployed blacks and whites. It has given them all a voice, not just locally but to a degree nationally (Napolean was the keynote speaker at the recent Micro Broadcasters Convention in Oakland). This pioneering station must go back on the air. Napoleon requests donations to help them fight this. Please send what you can to: Napoleon Williams, 637 E Center St., Decatur IL 63526. In the face of a growing police state, Napoleon and Mildred are fighting back. They need your help. *PLEASE* call to issue protests: State Attorney General Jim Ryan 217-782-1090 Macon County States Attorney Lawrence "Larry" Fichter 217-424-1400 101 South Main, Decatur,Il 62523. ------------ Makani Themba mthemba(a)igc.apc.org 3780 Webster Street, Oakland, CA 94609 (510) 655-3112 (voice) (510) 658-5122 (fax) "Whoever controls the flow of information dictates our perceptions and perspectives; whoever controls the news shapes our destiny." - George Clinton Stop the execution of Mumia Abu Jamal! =-=-=-=-=-=- Ross Wright King Media: Bulk Sales of Software Media and Duplication Services http://www.slip.net/~cdr/kingmedia Voice: 415-206-9906

However, since the government has pressed the point, couldn't one use this same logic to claim that since face-to-face conversations are assumed to be private that wire taps are illegal. I seem to recall that Chief Justice Brandice made this argument in the late '20s. Look where we are today. --Steve
